If you actually believe things will turn around by the end of the year, stay happy, I guess. The Supreme Court usually stays dead silent whenever a scandal breaks out. During a crisis like this? They’ll be quiet as a grave. And honestly, they should be. Why would they want to get tangled up in this mess? I seriously doubt this judge would even step up to the mic if he had any allies left on the bench. Seems to me his colleagues totally blew him off, so now he’s just venting to anyone willing to listen.
The US has thousands of municipalities. The smallest municipality by population is a tiny small town in a rural county with just 137 residents. Meanwhile, the smallest by land area is a small town in the Midwest covering only about 6.1 square miles...
A whole municipality spanning just 6 square miles... almost every neighborhood in Washington, D.C. (except for Downtown, which is larger...) would dwarf that...
Larry Walker24 said:Capak: "When everyone suddenly headed south, the travel ban was an epidemiologically sound move. We’ll adjust the restrictions based on how things play out and how people actually behave—either loosening them up or tightening the screws. I think we need to hold steady at this level for now, then re-evaluate in a week. Easter is coming up, and obviously, everyone wants those restrictions to ease up a bit. We’ll all reach an agreement."
They could probably just let people head home. But honestly? I doubt they'll ditch the rest of the restrictions.
Look, there’s one thing nobody can argue with: America is completely at the mercy of whatever moves other countries make and how they handle this whole virus situation. We’re tied to them economically because we rely on the more developed nations. Until they decide to loosen the reins, we aren't going anywhere either.
Kenneth Jones70 said:Here’s what I’m thinking—things should start hitting the fan this week for regular folks, especially couples torn apart by this morbid decision.
I’m sending an email to the Department of Justice tomorrow morning. Naturally, I’ll be citing the U.S. Constitution and all those international treaties we signed that guarantee nobody can just restrict your freedom of movement.
There are thousands of couples in America being screwed over right now.
Is this really okay with them? Just dropping an "indefinite" ruling like that and making people suffer?
The government needs to let these couples move freely. And look, I’m not saying this as some "softie" who can't function without a girlfriend or partner.
I can handle it, sure—but it’s just not mentally healthy to have the government telling you that you can't see your significant other.
They need to fix this law immediately and allow travel from point A to point B.
The real question is when someone is going to snap—and I might be the first one to hop in my car and end up in a holding cell because I refuse to run from the cops.
Doesn't it always end with some fine print at the bottom of the page? Something like "...except in cases of national emergencies" or whatever bullshit they use to bypass everything else? 🤔
My take? Just hold steady and practice some patience for a few more weeks. If people start dropping like flies here the way they did in Italy, we won't have any other problems to worry about. Honestly, we just need to wait and see if these restrictions are actually crossing the line.
Jerry Ruiz36 said:Good grief, what a revelation! 🙏 I just realized what this forum's logo actually is. Honestly, I thought it was some kind of house this whole time!🤣
What if I told you it's actually both?! :morpheus:
I’ve got relatives who moved away a few years back. Mind you, they’re all in the medical field, so that’s a bit of a specific case. I also hear stories from coworkers over at my construction firm who made the jump too. One guy actually spent a year behind bars, and as soon as he got out, he landed a job in Austria immediately. It made me realize that, honestly, pretty much anyone can find work there if they want to.
As far as I'm concerned, the people leaving behind families here in America aren't the issue. That setup works perfectly for everyone involved—except, obviously, for the local employers.
But what exactly do you mean by a "pure economic catastrophe"? You’re the one saying these people are going to be sending three times their current salaries back home to the States.
From what I'm hearing, getting the permit is basically just a formality at this point. 🤷 Plus, we’ve got a massive diaspora over there. It won't be anything out of the ordinary. Expect to see plenty of Austrian license plates clogging up the roads during the holidays.
Joshua Smith45 said:I don't know, the doll design works for me. It’s a bit wooden, sure. Not quite evil enough. But maybe that actually makes it more believable as something a parent would actually buy?
Honestly? I'm having a hard time buying that. That's pretty much the core of my issue with this movie.
The original doll looks like a normal doll. The redesigned one looks like a deformed potato.
Thinking some kid would actually want this, and a parent would actually pull out their credit card, gives me a massive case of suspension of disbelief.
Total garbage. The doll's design is a joke. Chucky is just some glitchy robot now. In the original, you had an actual person trapped inside a doll's body. As for the comedy? Not funny. And the kids' behavior was brain-dead, even by their age.
Grace Edwards said:And I guess the first two weren't? 🤣 It’s just mindless popcorn cinema, kind of like Fast & Furious.
The trailer looks terrible (like some random Netflix movie), and Lawrence looks like he's in a coma.
The first one was actually pretty fun. Is it smart? Not even close. But honestly, if you just need something solid playing in the background while you're doing other stuff, those Bayev movies hit the spot perfectly.
The second one was a complete waste of time, and honestly, looking at where things are headed, the third one looks like more of the exact same garbage. It’s just a loop. Same tired jokes, that ridiculous gravity-defying gunplay, those same predictable corners... it's all just carbon copies of what we already sat through. Why even bother?
Looks like Martin Lawrence is totally ready to jump straight into filming Big Momma's House without even bothering with the makeup. Honestly, who needs it?
I honestly forgot I’d even seen this thing. It wasn't until I heard the soundtrack again that a few scenes finally clicked back into place. As far as I'm concerned, Gerard Butler is basically on my blacklist whenever I'm deciding whether to sit through a movie. I get it, he’s doing it for the paycheck, but does he really have to be that lazy? I don't know.
I’ve come to sign the book of mourning. Trying to put a number on Wikipedia's contribution to this Reddit is basically impossible. It’s the kind of headache that’s going to plague amateur philosophy circles for years to come. Some people in the backchannels are already calling it the final great dilemma of the early 21st century.
I’ve been spiraling down this rabbit hole myself. I’ve wasted countless hours just staring at the screen, trying to make sense of this random phenomenon known as Wiki. You’ve got a guy who seemingly has a full life, yet somehow spends every single spare second chatting away. It's like he's spitting in the face of physics; the guy clearly found a glitch in the space-time continuum that lets him be present everywhere, all at once. But let's try to wrap our heads around the moderator's decision: If you ask an objectivist, someone who spams every single sub-thread is clearly breaking the rules, and big violations deserve big consequences. A logician would probably point out how hypocritical it is to call others out for breaking rules while you're busy breaking them yourself. The absurdists? They'd say Wiki's constant presence is just proof that we live in a confusing, nonsensical mess, and his activity is just part of the universe's inherent chaos. Marxists would argue that Wiki is just the latest tool of the bourgeoisie, standing right between the proletariat—that's us users—and the monarchy—aka the mods. But who cares about that? Personally, I'm leaning toward utilitarianism. At the end of the day, this place should actually serve a purpose. That means users should try to keep their posts somewhat relevant to the topic at hand. And with Wiki's posts? That rarely happens.
